No doubt Sheldon felt that the POS mayor of Atlanta gave him permission to “take revenge “ on this old couple.

The degree of craziness is increasing the longer the lockdown continues. Just wonder what grave that elderly couple were visiting.

“A motive for the shooting of the elderly couple has not been released.”
***********************************************************************
It’s likely the ONLY possible motive was that this 85 and 86 year old couple was white, defenseless and in an isolated area unarmed.

Maybe we need a protest about this. Given the racial nature and given the proximity of Ohaha’s message about Flynn, perhaps we can tie this to him.
